"So, I heard that the Demon Lord convinced the witch. It's amazing how easy it is to make someone grovel.

...... Oh.

......?　Are you listening, Richt?

Hmm?　Yeah, sorry.

　I'm eating.
　Dorothy was in a good mood, talking about the news that Aria had brought the witch under her control, as if she had done it herself.

　Richt, on the other hand, was sitting in a daze without any particular reaction.

　He didn't seem to touch his food and his face was a little redder than usual.
　Dorothy seemed to have noticed the change.

"Hey, are you sure you're okay?　Did you eat something strange?

I think I'm fine. ...... I just feel a little heavy.

No, no, no, no, no. You're definitely not okay. Come on, give me your forehead.

　When Dorothy put her hand on Richt's forehead, she felt a fever that she didn't think was safe at all.

　It's clearly not what you would call a normal temperature.
　I could understand it the moment my hand touched it.

It's a fever. ...... Richt. It's not just a cold, you might want to rest.

But after this, Faith has called me, and I still have work to do that ...... Aria asked me to do.

I'll take care of that for you. I'm sure the Demon Lord won't be too upset about that.

　Dorothy took Licht's hand and made him stand up.
　Dorothy took Richt's hand and made him stand up. It was a rather forceful move, but Richt wouldn't be able to stand if she didn't do it this way.

　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.


I'm not sure what to say.


I'm not sure what to do. I've got some ice for you to cool down with.

"Thanks for the ....... Thanks a lot.

　Dorothy puts a large ice cube on his head.
　Dorothy placed a large ice cube on Richt's head. Multiple layers of blankets were placed on him, and leeks were wrapped around his neck.

　She had taken every precaution she could think of.

I did my own research, but I couldn't figure out what it was. ...... I'm pretty sure it's not just a cold.

I see.

I'm sure it's not just a cold." "Well, the Demon Lord tried to revive you after you killed the lich and force you to heal, so I stopped him. ...... This is good, right?

......Thank you so much for that.

　Licht thanked Dorothy with a complicated expression.
　If it had been Aria who had come here instead of Dorothy, Richt might have been killed.

　No one wants to die.
　Dorothy seems to have understood Richt's feelings.

Dorothy seemed to understand Richt's feelings. "Well, she said that Faith and the others are coming to visit him again, so you should see them. They're worried about you.

"...... Okay.

　Richt closes his eyes, feeling a bad premonition all over his body.
　Faith is a little tricky in these situations.

　As if in anticipation, he was woken up a few minutes later by a pounding on the door.
